Something feels "off" about me these past few days (especially today). I have racing thoughts that are distracting me. It's as if my thoughts are loud and amplified. Made up conversations go through my head constantly. It jumps from topic to topic. I am also becoming hypersexual and thinking about a co-worker, where it would be disastrous if I pursued anything,. At least I have that awareness, but the racing thoughts are still there, and I have lost my judgment in the past from mania.
All of this makes it harder to focus at work, although I've been pulling it off by fooling everyone (for now, that is). It is very hard to fall asleep, unless I take PRN klonopin with my Seroquel, but that just leads to me waking up, having strange dreams, then the racing thoughts begin all over again the next day. This has all just started. I wonder if there is a small chance this will just pass without having to do a medication change and all of that?? Should I call my pdoc, or wait until my next appointment, which is 2 weeks from now? __________________ Bipolar 1 Disorder, Unspecified Anxiety Disorder |

I would call your pdoc now instead of waiting two weeks. Things can get out of hand quickly, in a few days, so two weeks feels like a long time to wait. I hope you feel better soon.

I agree you should call now. You have great insight into your symptoms at the moment. You are showing classic symptoms of hypomania/mania. It could spiral way out of control in two weeks time. Calling your pdoc now could spare you a number of unfortunate experiences. I wish you well and hope this resolves for you soon.

Hi xRavenx. How are you this morning?
I needed to call my psychiatrist yesterday for basically the same reason you describe. It was the best thing to do. Today is Thursday. It's best not to be in a pickle right before or during the weekend. |

Hi everyone. Thanks for your help and support.
Sorry I am late responding. I feel I am getting worse. Sometimes my mood turns mixed really fast. I'm getting irritable and had a bad meltdown today and yesterday. The racing thoughts are still bad. I called my pdoc, and she gave me a sooner appointment. It is in the beginning of this upcoming week. She did not want to make any changes over the phone as far as my medication goes. I'm just trying to get through the weekend. __________________ Bipolar 1 Disorder, Unspecified Anxiety Disorder |
